Abstract:
Distal radius fractures occur in a bimodal age and sex distribution. Their incidence continues to rise with an increasingly active aging population. The current American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons guidelines for operative intervention are radial shortening of >3 mm, dorsal tilt of >10[degrees], or intra-articular displacement or step-off of >2 mm. The method of reduction and fixation should be selected on a case-by-case basis with a focus on patient factors, fracture behavior, surgical proficiency, and functional outcomes.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
